Description
Unlock Path aims to increase the adoption of the Unlock protocol by providing comprehensive, accessible, and engaging educational resources. Our program will consist of 4 detailed tutorials and 2 workshops, available in both Spanish and Portuguese, and a marketing campaign. These resources will cater to developers, entrepreneurs, and general users, helping them understand and implement Unlock's features effectively. By demystifying the protocol through clear, step-by-step guides and visual aids, we aim to lower the barrier to entry and encourage more widespread use of Unlock. Additionally, we will execute a targeted social media marketing campaign to maximize the reach and impact of these educational materials.
